[QUOTE="lRageATMl, post: 470052, member: 4602"] I installed the 4lb lower kit over the weekend... Wow, I feel like I have a whole new car. But now I have a ton of questions for anyone using the Metco lower pulley kit, but first my experience with the installation (my friends shop did it, but I was helping him every step of the way). When I first opened up the box I was like, wtf are all these parts?!?!?! But then I stepped back, calmed down, and read the directions. This job wasn't bad at all. The only part that gave us a ton of trouble was the damn crank bolt thingy. That thing would not turn for it's life. We couldn't get it off when the car was in 1st gear, the crank kept turning. SO finally I decided to try a different gear (1 hour later from 1st gear). The crank finally stopped moving. Now what surprised the hell out of me was that the crank bolt was tightened so hard. To get it off, we had a breaker bar, with a pipe on top of it (giving us about 4 feet of leverage) and only after each of us tried we finally got the damn bolt off. From here on out the job got easy again. Oh yeah, and the little hex tool the Metco kit came with, nearly broke. It was twisted in so many ways. Good thing the snap-on truck was there cause he had some serious sockets that saved the day. I had a bunch of questions but after reading this thread all of my questions have been answered. I am still getting notciable belt slip with my 2.75 upper and 4lb lower with my 77.2" gatorback belt. So I am stuck with a couple of poisitons. I can look for a smaller belt, or I can try moving the idler to the upper position. I think I'll go with the latter for now and see how much that will help. I jsut hope it won't be a PIA to move it to the upper position. [/QUOTE]
